The Alpen Shasta Ridge 25-75x100 is a large-aperture spotting scope for long-range birding and observation. A spotting scope is a compact, high-power telescope for land use, and this one's big 100mm objective gathers a lot of light for bright, detailed views at extreme distances.

The 25-75x zoom eyepiece lets you dial magnification up or down, and the angled eyepiece makes long viewing sessions comfortable.
